The Childe Elite Group's two small boats docked at the shore. The six of them jumped off the boat. After paying the fare, the two players drove the boat back. Han Family Young Master took the binoculars and looked in the direction that Jian Nan You and the others had gone. All he saw was a vast expanse of white.
"Damn it!" Han Family Young Master cursed in his heart. The other five gathered around and asked for the binoculars. After admiring the scene for a while, they shook their heads and sighed.
"Let's take a look at Xia Wu City first?" Sword Demon suggested.
Everyone nodded. It wasn't easy to get here. Although there were no traces of Jian Nan You and the others, they couldn't just turn back. That would be too embarrassing.
"Wushang, go and chop their boat in half," Han Family Young Master said.
No one was in a good mood. Unscathed In Battle was no exception. He strode to the place where Jian Nan You and the others had hidden their boats. He pulled the two small boats ashore and took out a huge axe from his pocket. "Clang clang clang" he vented his anger. In the blink of an eye, the two small wooden boats had become a pile of broken wood. The young master of the Han family had already gathered a large bundle of firewood and withered grass and piled it on the ground. He then took out a small book from his bosom and tore it open. Turning to Gu Fei, he said, "Expert, lend me a lighter."
"Fireball!" Gu Fei raised his sword and chanted. A ball of flame jumped up from the tip of his sword. Han Family Young Master reached out and lit the small book in his hand. He stuffed it into the pile of dried grass and said to Unscathed In Battle, "Whirlwind Slash, give me a Whirlwind Slash."
"What?" Unscathed In Battle asked.
"Give me some wind."
Unscathed In Battle performed another Whirlwind Slash. He used the power of the wind to burn the grass, the grass to burn the wood, and the wood to burn the broken boards of the boat. In the end, the planks of the boat were too wet. When they caught fire, only smoke could be seen but no flames could be seen. The people around the bonfire were choked and fled in all directions, cursing.
"Cough, cough, cough …" The moment Unscathed In Battle's Whirlwind Flamethrower stopped casting his Whirlwind Slash, he was engulfed by a large cloud of gray smoke. He choked the most, coughing loudly as he tried to escape. He shouted at the few players, "Such a big cloud of smoke, will it expose us?"
The Han Family Young Master continued to admire the mist with his binoculars. He mumbled, "It would be best if we can lure Jian Nan You and the others back."
In the end, it was unknown whether it was because the fog was too thick or Jian Nanyou and the others did not turn back after they left, but the fire and smoke did not attract any attention. It became a pure vent. In the end, the broken planks could not be burned because they were too wet. Unscathed In Battle looked at the pile of broken planks resentfully and said, "I really want to piss on them again."
The others glanced at him and ignored his vulgarity. They could eat and drink in the game because it was a form of enjoyment. As for boring things like going to the toilet, there was no simulation. If they really felt that way, they should go offline as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would pee their pants!
"Let's go to Fog City!" The Han Family Young Master pointed ahead and walked forward. Sword Demon and Brother You followed behind. Gu Fei put his hand on Yutian Shenming's shoulder. "Yutian, why are your legs shaking?"
"Nonsense, I'm not." Yutian Shenming looked down. He was indeed a little nervous, but it was too much of an exaggeration to say that his legs were shaking. Gu Fei smiled. "Follow me." Yutian Shenming quickly followed. In the game, they had the help of coordinates, so the fog was not a big deal. But for people like Yutian Shenming, who could not use coordinates and could only rely on the landmarks in his field of vision, Fog City was a nightmare.
The six of them walked for a while and gradually fell into the fog. When they looked back, they could no longer see the large body of water behind them. Their vision was completely blocked by the fog. The Han Family Young Master, who was extremely sensitive to distance and coordinates, roughly said, "The visual range is about fifty to sixty meters. Yutian, can you see further with your eagle eyes?"
"Huh?" Yutian Shenming looked around. He did not know how far he was. The Han Family Young Master had to find a reference for him. He pointed in a certain direction. "There is a blurry tree over there. Do you see it?"
Yutian Shenming stared. "Where? Why can't I see it?"
"Damn, you said it was eagle eyes …" The Han Family Young Master snorted.
"Is that a tree? I think it's a house. Yutian, do you see that house? " Gu Fei looked in the direction that the Han Family Young Master pointed. He did not see any trees, but it seemed like a house.
"No, I just see a big rock," Yutian Shenming said.
Everyone was speechless because it was too blurry. It was said that they could see fifty to sixty meters, but they could not even tell if it was a stone house or a tree. It did not seem to be visible.
"Let's hurry. Maybe it will be better in the city." Brother You said as he flipped through his little notebook. He also had the coordinates of Fog City and some basic information. He had neglected the existence of this city because he was too superstitious about the system's water transportation.
"Go this way!" Brother You looked at the coordinates and led the way for the few of them. At the same time, he briefly introduced the situation of Xia Wu City to everyone. "Everyone has already seen the characteristics. It is just that the fog is thick. It is said that it is slightly better inside the city than outside. The biggest guild here is called 'Flowers in the Fog', a level six guild. There are also many level five mercenary groups. In terms of experts, four of them are in the top ten. One is Three Sighs of Flowing Maple, who is ranked seventh on the warrior leaderboard. The other is Apple Vinegar, who is ranked fourth on the thief leaderboard, Wind String, who is ranked eighth on the grandmaster of combat leaderboard, and … Strange Eye, who is ranked second on the sorcerer leaderboard and also one of the new top five. Everyone should know this person, right? "
"Yes, I do," Gu Fei replied.
The others looked at Gu Fei in shock. "How did you know?" They were all too familiar with Gu Fei's character. He did not have much interest in online games, and any expert player would be nothing more than cannon fodder in his hands. He would never care about these famous players. Yet, he knew of this player called Strange Pupil. Could it be that the two of them were in some sort of relationship?
"You guys know each other?" Brother You asked. He felt that the only reason Gu Fei knew this person was because the two of them knew each other in real life. That was why Gu Fei knew his in-game identity.
"I don't know him, but I have seen this name before," Gu Fei said.
"Where did you see him?" The experts were all very interested.
"The forums," Gu Fei said.
"You also go on the forums?" Brother You was excited. Could it be that after spending so much time with him, he had developed a hobby in this area? See, this was the charm of a person!
"A long time ago," Gu Fei said. It was indeed a long time ago. That was the first time Gu Fei showed off his abilities. When he killed Non-smiler to level eight, his sorcerer equipment was appraised and displayed on the forums, causing a lot of controversy. At that time, a user called Strange Eye made a post that caught Gu Fei's attention. Even though he did not know that Gu Fei's strength was mainly due to his Kung Fu, his analysis was very accurate. Even though he did not know if this user was the same person as the Strange Eye in the game, Gu Fei at least had an impression of the name.
"Oh, is that so!" Brother You was a little surprised after listening to Gu Fei's explanation. It had been so long, but Gu Fei still remembered everything. Brother You was sure that Gu Fei had seen the posts that attracted attention. Brother You had a vague impression of Gu Fei's analysis, but he could not remember who the user was.
"From this analysis, it sounds like an expert. But it might not be the same person in the forums and in the game, "Brother You said.
Gu Fei nodded. Actually, when Brother You said, "Everyone knows this person, right?", he casually answered, "Yes." He did not expect this group of people to have such a big reaction and dig out so much information. He felt that these people really had too much time on their hands.
"Don't worry too much about the level ranking." Sword Demon said, "The difficulty of leveling up is so high, and the difference between everyone's levels is very small. Skills and equipment are more important. Although Jian Nanyou dropped a level, I don't think anyone in the top ten warriors would dare to say that they can beat him. "
"Yes, Boss Sword Demon is right. Drifting, that idiot, looks like he's number one on the sorcerer leaderboard. It'll be a piece of cake for him to come and fight with Qianli!" Yutian Shenming said.
Everyone gave him a sideways glance. This inference was a little too ridiculous, because Gu Fei was really not a representative. It was hard to say whether there was a difference of five or ten levels between him and a monster like him. Suddenly, Sword Demon remembered that level 10 Gu Fei had defeated him when he was level 25. It was really unbearable to recall the past.
The discussion about Strange Pupil came to an end. Brother You continued to report, "Also, there's someone here this Sunday. It's Yan Xiaozhu, number eleven on the Thief leaderboard."
"Huh, this name sounds like a girl!" Unscathed In Battle said.
"And it feels like it's a beauty," Yutian Shenming said.
"We need to find a chance to spar with them," Unscathed In Battle said seriously.
Gu Fei really wanted to introduce these two guys to the flowers for an eternity. They would definitely be very compatible.
The six of them continued on their way. At this time, Gu Fei received a message from Hundred Generations Jinglun, asking for his location.
"Do you know Xiayu City?" Gu Fei replied.
"How do we go?" Hundred Generations Jinglun asked.
"The system doesn't have this route. You can rent a boat from the guild near the tavern on the beach. I'll send you over. " Gu Fei's instructions were quite detailed. The main reason was that Waterside City wasn't very safe. If he randomly found a boat, he might very well board a pirate ship. However, the businesses under the big guilds still valued their reputation, so it shouldn't be a bad idea to find them.
At this time, Hundred Generations Jinglun was also waiting to board a boat at the dock. When he heard that he had to find a boat himself, he went back to the tavern to ask. The various guilds that set up the tavern were also in this business. Naturally, they wouldn't neglect customers. However, the direction to Xiayu City was really expensive. This was because this route was not provided by the system. Players had to seize the opportunity to be unkind.
Although Hundred Generations Jinglun was one of the Five Strongmen, he was really poor. This was because, like Gu Fei, the amount of time he invested in the game was quite limited compared to the average player. At this time, after emptying his pockets, he only had 98 gold coins, 76 silver coins, and 54 copper coins. When Hundred Generations Jinglun saw this, he guessed that he really didn't have any money and didn't want to be greedy. Thus, he generously exempted him from paying 5 gold coins and took 95 from him.
Hundred Generations Jinglun boarded the boat and felt that this trip to earn money was really risky. This time, he wouldn't be able to kill Jian Nanyou and wouldn't be able to earn any money. He wouldn't even have enough money to travel back. It was too miserable.
He really didn't understand why the ancient heroes didn't seem to have a job, but why did they never lack money? Hundred Generations Jinglun put his hands behind his head and crossed his legs. He lay on the boat and thought to himself.
